Puccini's

309 Fullarton Road used to be the location of Savior and Camellia Tea Rooms. Now the place has had a sophisticated makeover and is a fine table service restaurant called Puccini's. This restaurant has been open about six weeks and got its liquor license last week. Despite focussing on the lunch and dinner market it was open on Saturday morning when Merkel and Myrtle enjoyed a hearty breakfast.

The hot chocolate came in a tall glass that was too hot to touch with a dark brown froth. It contained a deliciously rich, distinctive tasting Haighs hot chocolate. The hot chocolate cost $5.00.
